The markets had previously been ran by by a German team from WELA Märkte GmbH, but in 2016 Destination Bristol awarded the contract to Xmas Markets Ltd.

The Christmas Market reopens on Friday, November 10 and are open every day right up to Christmas Eve.

The market in Broadmead is not the only Christmas market we can treat ourselves to during the festive season. St Nick's Christmas Market will also be opening in November, although the exact date is yet to be decided.
